bowie asked to play with play dough and stamps today. she also asks to listen to christmas music while she plays! her enthusiasm has me in the holiday spirit!!!
i set up a tray with red play dough, holiday stamps, snowman hats, jingle bells, wood pieces, mardi gras beads, christmas erasers and acrylic diamonds.
she barely touched the play dough but used all the loose parts in her own way to stack, balance, sort, organize and make families. she loved using the erasers for imaginary/small world play. this has me thinking that she is due for a loose parts/tinker tray. watching them play like this is imagination and creativity at its finest!

| snowman families |
 |
| stacking and balancing |
 |
| look at that concentration! |
she eventually brought out her unicorn and wanted to decorate it with
the cut up mardi gras beads, but they kept falling off of the unicorn.
she was getting frustrated and decided to drape the unicorn in a blanket
of play dough and stick the beads to the play dough so they wouldn't
fall off, talk about great problem solving!
